    That's absolute garbage. The second world war, the holocaust and soviet occupation are very much widely taught over here through education systems and widely attended free museums. Go for a long weekend to Berlin when things open up and tell me how they're attempting to erase history.

    Imagine studying journalism in college and end up in a job making videos like that to earn a living.

    Works out alarmingly well. A great many YouTube channels are millionaires, like Logan Paul who has made over $14.5M off of views. More than that would easily eke a living out of revenues exceeding the minimum wage, often significantly.

    I have to correct myself, somewhat. There is a monument to Rommel in his hometown and praises him as “chivalrous,” “brave” and a “victim of tyranny.” Also, his name still graces two military bases, and several streets in Germany are named after him.
    During the height of Rommel’s success in North Africa, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sang his praises before the House of Commons. “We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us,” Churchill declared, “and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.” George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and other top Allied generals likewise expressed their respect for him, and Rommel responded in kind, saying of Patton that “we saw the most astonishing achievement in mobile warfare,” and that “Montgomery never made a serious strategic mistake.”

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    I disagree. Germany believes a mix of education, and the limiting of free speech, is the only way to ensure their dark past would remain the past.

    We here believe in the freedom of speech, even vile, racist speech, as it is an inviolate part of the US Constitution’s First Amendment. We constantly argue about the protections of free speech between ourselves, and the vast majority condemn vile and racist speech. That is how we ensure that our dark past will remain past.

    My thoughts are... I DIDN'T SEE IT!

    This is exactly what I'd expect a Trump supporter to say, because it's the type of thing he himself says

    "well I wouldn't know about that"
    "well I didn't see that"
    "well I didn't hear that"
    "I didn't say that" ...eh you did, the reporter is literally reading your direct quote

    Anyhoo. I see someone has posted the video of him drinking the water (in a very worryingly odd manner it must be said).

    So you've seen it now

    Seems to be ignoring it, if it was Biden we would be hearing accusations of dementia or parkinsons or whatever other disease that took their fancy.

    I heard and seen plenty of what trump does, says and Tweets. So the one time I can't watch a video it's the end of the world?

    And I see there is a major $hitstorm going on over how he sometimes drinks a glass of water. IMPEACH!!!!! Do you people not realize how ludicrous you sometimes come off as?

    Remind me again on Friday. Next three out of four days I'm going from 5:30 am to 11:30 pm between two jobs. The one day I'm only working about 10 hours I'll be crashing early.

    Purely determined by views. They will net thousands for minimal effort.

    Ah now come the bombastic deflections. “Ah you want to impeach him for a disability”

    No we don’t want to vote for him with an obvious disability. At any moment we don’t know if he’s going to be 25A’d because he has to go to Walter Reed for a condition the public has a reasonable right to know about.

    The exact same chickens sent flying when Hillary fainted at a 9/11 ceremony have come home to roost.

    I actually used to like him back before the age of madness and kowtowing, he seemed pretty witty and self deprecating in interviews which was rare in an American politician.

    Should they not report what health experts are saying? They’ve already published news from health experts doomsaying about protesting. You couldn’t watch coverage on tv without hearing about the virus. What’s unfair in the reporting here?

    “ CORONAVIRUS
    Global coronavirus death toll tops 400,000 as protesters continue to defy lockdowns” was the headline just last week from NBC. Your cherry-picking to imply an agenda is cute but invalid
